Not much more. Pleased as is.

With most of the boxes broken down and ready to transport; the dishes mostly done save for dinner dishes... which are soaking; trash and recycling sorted and out; even heated several pieces of chicken confit for a later dinner.  I have a list for tomorrow... shopping and sourcing list.  If I find a smaller round of brie, I may bring that home.  I also want to see about dehydrated mushrooms.  Fresh shiitake are simply too expensive.  However, dehydrated... if I can find US sourced... seem to be much less expensive.  They are not simply tasty, but as I mentioned are high in potassium.  I still want to add that to my diet when possible.  No carbs to worry about.  If I can find dehydrated white mushrooms as well, I'll get those.  Yes, a list... actually a list of lists.

Beside shopping I need to do several bits of business.  I need to check at the doctor office, make sure, this time, they sent in the form.  Then check with DMV to make sure they received it.  Yeah, they are screwing with me that much.  If all is well, I might consider handling that bit of business.  Then taxes.  Though I may need an inspection.  It's odd years until a vehicle is a certain age, then it is every year.  It might be to the every year stage, or creeping up on it.  Time will tell.  I had hoped to order another lamb, that may not be possible.  One will do.  And it's not like I don't have enough meat.  Between beef, pork, and lamb, I am doing quite well.  Still, a lamb is sort of sparse.  I'll... think on it through the week.

I hope to keep working in the kitchen and living room... and wherever.  Sometimes I can work in a straight line, sometimes to do something correctly I end up working in the basement, or living room, bedroom, or wherever.  The cave really is looking up.  Food is working out.  Not sure if I can fast AND work, but I am going to try it.  If I can do it it will further tighten me up.  I'm still beefy, but inside, I can feel muscle being created, and what is there being honed.  Comparatively, I have become brutally strong in a hurry.  I hope for more, not sure it's possible.

Finally, this week, I am also hoping to begin making beef jerky.  A package of three to four pounds will be brought out at a time, thawed, marinated, and then allowed to dry out.  Until it is well and truly done, and then only if I feel I have the energy time and such, no new package will be brought out.  It will be slower than trying to gun it, but it will lead to far less risk of waste.  My goal is to put up between sixty and an hundred pounds of jerky... at jerk weight.  I thought about freezing it, but I don't think that is wise.  Once frozen, I have some suspicion that thawing it would be a mistake, and start a timer.  While unfrozen, but air sealed, it will last long enough for my needs.  Alaska, in a year or two.

I really am pulling through.  Days are slipping a bit, but slowly.  And, in part, based on the change in the season and weather.  I'll keep at it.  Good night.
